Is The Villas No3 Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The large enclosed rear garden provides safe outdoor space for children to play. Embleton Bay beach is a fifteen-minute walk for sandcastle building and rock pooling. A cot and highchair are available. The two separate living spaces mean kids can have their own area. Dunstanburgh Castle offers exploration opportunities. Multiple beaches nearby including Beadnell Bay provide variety for family days out.
For Couples
This property is not ideal for couples. The Villas No3 is a large five-bedroom house designed for groups of ten people. The scale and size make it impractical and expensive for just two guests. Couples would be better suited to smaller properties in the area that offer more intimate settings and better value for romantic breaks.
Pet Friendly
The Villas No3 does not accept pets. The property has a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. Dog owners will need to make alternative arrangements or choose a different property that welcomes animals. Many other cottages in Northumberland do accept pets if you're travelling with dogs.

The Villas No3 Reviews

Eloise
We loved staying at this property it had incredible views of Embleton bay and Dunstanburgh castle, wonderful rooms with cosy beds, and we also enjoyed the two sitting rooms, especially the back one with the fire so cosy! The location was also fantastic 10 minute walk to the beach, and a brilliant farm shop and pub both less than 5 minutes walk away in the village. We would 100 love to stay there again. David was also really responsive and helpful when there was a slight issue with the dishwasher. Our only comment was that it would have been nice for the bathrooms to have more soap and shower gel for guests to use.
Andrea
A spacious house which accommodated our family of ten very well. Fabulous views and a great location for exploring the local area. However, we felt there were poor levels of cleanliness in some areas and the barbecue was uninviting. Despite this, we all had a fabulous holiday and enjoyed our stay in the house.
Daphne
Three generations, 8 of us had the most amazing stay over the Christmas period. The house was perfect, location, views, comfort and cleanliness. Not that we ventured far, as we had everything we needed right there. Everyone agreed they would like to make a return visit. Thank you.
It&39s a beautiful period property, tastefully extended and restored. Lovely big bay windows, high ceilings, gorgeous original fireplaces and plenty of comfy beds and seating for our party of 10. Nice selection of board games and DVDs. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful views of the sea, farmland, wildlife and the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Embleton is a charming village and the beach is spectacular. Very tastefully and comfortably decorated, a nice blend of traditional style and modern comforts. Definitely want to stay again!
Beautiful house in a fantastic position. Fifteen minute walk to the beach with wonderful views of the bay and Dunstanburgh Castle.
One of the best we have stayed in for location . ..glorious views, parking, close to beach etc. Spacious and well laid out house. Perfect for three families with children .Good bedding, bathroom facilities. All of a very high standard.
A wonderfully large and beautifully finished house with the most amazing views out to sea and across to Dunstanburgh Castle. Very comfortable living with two spacious lounges and a lovely kitchendiner. Four of the five large bedrooms have the stunning sea views. Perfectly located for Northumberland&39s glorious sandy beaches and castles. Embleton enjoys a useful village store and two good local pubs. Highly recommended!
A spacious and very comfortable property in an awesome position. The views are fabulous, and the nearby coastal walks are great.
This is the second time I have visited first with friends then family. On both occasions we had a very good holiday. Ideally placed for beach and surrounding attractions.
